You fail to see the irony that the only reason you have it so good with your phone software is because of the pushback of open source and open standards the nerds have had to always fight for.
The only reason? Tech people here have some very self-flattery view. The main reason, and I wouldn't call it the only reason, the phone being an essential item is because it meets the needs of average consumers, not just for the tiny tech population. If a website is what everyone wants, then trust me it will be front and center in any phone ads, not the camera.
